Rolling Stone

[mad scientist]

MCA will not be on the cover of Rolling Stone. A talented actor will be on the cover but I thought Rolling Stone was predominately a MUSIC magazine and I wonder how could someone with as much influence as Adam Yauch not take precedence?

[MCScoobyT]

^ "It's the Money" (http://youtu.be/s2VG53RIJ50)

[mad scientist]

Unfortunately, that is probably true but is still sucks to see Rolling Stone sell out and not pay a proper tribute to one of the most influential artists of our time.

[JoLovesMCA]

What? This can't be true. I will be sending them an email.

[beasties#1fan]

What? This can't be true. I will be sending them an email.
i was thinkin of doing the SAME thing:cool:
i am...

[birdfloatindown]

I'm going to email them too. If it was Adam Levine that died, Rolling Stone would do a 150 page commemorative issue, I'm sure. Anything for a "The Voice" tie-in.:mad:

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

What is the email? So pissed right now.

[Avalanche]

Give us the e-mail, man! Give it!

[Mr. Juice]

Sad that MCA didn't get the cover considering that Rolling Stone did a full-on Peter Dinklage profile just last year (not that its his fault).

Found it sad in the write-up when Perry Farrell said that Yauch was giving up the studio.

[cj hood]

I wrote RS when they didn't put JMJ on the cover when he passed and they printed the letter...so go ahead and complain to them cuz this is bs!

[dave790]

Found it sad in the write-up when Perry Farrell said that Yauch was giving up the studio.

Can you elaborate please Mr. J?

[Brother McDuff]

bullshit

[Late-Night Lion]

Can you elaborate please Mr. J?

Here's a link to the article with the quote from Perry.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/perry-farrell-remembers-adam-yauch-20120504

This is interesting, especially since this is the first we've heard of this. If MCA really did offer his studio (O-Scope labs? or something else?) perhaps he knew he was on his way out...:(

[Documad]

It sucks but it's not surprising. RS is and has been completely shit for most of my lifetime (and I'm old so that's saying something). Yes, they can still cover classic rock and celebrity bullshit but they haven't properly understood modern music in forever. They routinely ignore important developments until it's so widespread it can't be denied and then they cover the phenomenon rather than the actual music. I'll also cite their laughable list issues, especially the guitar players one.

What REALLY sucks is that he got such a small article as well; it's basically a news item, not a tribute. So the cover is misleading as well. It wasn't a good enough article to justify a cover even if they hadn't already promised the cover to the actor or whatever happened. I assume they had a tight deadline but it's still ridiculous. It would have been better to slip in a tiny news item and write a proper tribute in the next issue. I already loathed that magazine so no surprise but I have continuing disappointment. The disappointment comes from it being one of the only "music" magazines still around.

[JoLovesMCA]

Here you go guys. Let em have it. Don't care at this point if it is a legit magazine or not. They always celebrated the Beastie Boys while they were alive so why not now.. now that it's all over.

letters@rollingstone.com

rseditors@rollingstone.com

Heartbreaking to read about Adam and the guys preparing to give things away like their studio. I can't handle this. It's so damn not fucking fair. :(

Edit: I sent my letter to them, it wasn't nice. Really it felt good to take it out on them.

jo

[MIKEtotheD]

Thanks for passing along the email addresses, Jo.
I just contacted them as well.

I'm not necessarily surprised that they didn't do more, due to the fact (as many of you have said), that it is far from being a magazine representative of music today...but nonetheless, it is disheartening.

[yeahwho]

Rolling Stone is annoying. I cancelled my subscription years ago. It is not a counter-culture magazine nor is it cutting edge on politics.

They were at one time that connection that really meant something. How all of this information about great bands and political action is so easily obtainable on the innerwebs by a goofball like myself yet Rolling Stone misses it amazes me.

And to have a chance to put MCA on the cover now, when record stores all around Seattle have Thanks to MCA on their windows and readerboards...

Rolling Stone is just dumb enough to further alienate those it should embrace and respect.

Shooting them off a letter right now.

[pm0ney]

I sent a nice "Fuck you" email to them. Twice.

[beasties#1fan]

I sent a nice "Fuck you" email to them. Twice.

i must go vomit that out of my brain now. (n)

Well, it didn't sound douchie-baggie to me... :confused:

[Space]

i retweeted a message to @RollingStones

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I'm gonna email them tonight. I hate them for this.

[JoLovesMCA]

Guys I went ahead and scanned what Rollingstone did publish on Adam. They revealed that that over the past three years Yauch's cancer continued to spread. That of course was what I thought. :/ And Mike D backstage at the ceremony said they would have traded anything to have had Adam there with them, but he was grateful for the relationship between the three of them. :(

Perfectly said.

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I need some help. I keep going to write this email and it comes off with a lot of swearing and with a whole of how dare you.


Which I feel RS deserves, but I feel like for some sort of response and or actual movement id have to be some what thinking clearly.

Has anyone else been having this issue?

[MCScoobyT]

^ Why not just say you would like to see a Yauch cover in the near near future. Just because it didn't happen on the issue that came out right after he passed doesn't mean it won't.

Do we know for sure one isn't in the works for the next issue????

[M|X|Y]

^ ^ ^
...(y)

[kindness09]

Well, it didn't sound douchie-baggie to me... :confused:

yea...i read this wrong:

He would say, "We're giving up our studio. If you want to use our studio, you can use it." I hung out with Tim Leary before he died, and he was giving away his clothing and stuff like that. It's really a very sad feeling; it's kind of like an estate sale.
Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/perry-farrell-remembers-adam-yauch-20120504#ixzz1uumIYnt2


somehow, in the middle of the night, I missed he was referring to Tim Leary...and the giving away clothes/fire sale. I thought that was in reference to MCA....that shut me down. Made me think PF was an insincere d-bag.

apologies on that.

funny because that is exactly how I started my letter!

Yeah I may of gone overboard, after writing Dear Rolling Stone, My first sentence was,

How dare you not give Adam Yauch (MCA) of the Beastie Boys the Cover of Rolling Stone.


Then went on with what a grocery store checkout rag they were and how grateful I was that Yauch never sold out and brought his game face to everything he did. Unlike RS blah, blah, blah........ and so on and so forth.

I should re-focus, concentrate, re-write. A little humility may work better for all involved.

Has anybody received a response?

this.
cooler heads must prevail.

[JoLovesMCA]

I realize my letter to them was probably something Yauch would have frowned upon. If they are planning something then yeah I would feel bad, but they would have mentioned it in the magazine wouldn't they? I didnt' see any mention of it.

[MrSmiley1]

Part of me thinks they just did not have time to write something proper.. They did not have a lot of turnaround time to get something about there, but they felt they needed to say something. I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them until the next issue to properly address his death.

If they have a better spread in the next one, then I will be upset.

[benchillin]

maybe you could put something together for them ;)

[rhymesayer211]

I agree, maybe it was already published or some shit to switch up the cover. I find it hard to believe they would not do a "In Memory" issue. Shit, they better.

[DIGI]

If they did have something in the works, why half-ass it with some shitty TMZ article regurgitation? Fuck, some british boy band got a biggie write up the issue before. It's just the tipping point for me of a "music" magazine that's been on a steady downward spiral for decades.

Not to argue that Michael Jackson wasn't one of the greatest performers of all time, but when he passed, RS did it right. And that's for a man with a very questionable past that ultimately turned into an addict which led to his demise. The media was so eager to blame the doctor as the devil, but I think it's safe to say that if Michael Jackson wanted unheard of amounts of propofol, Michael Jackson's getting his propofol. Michael was just as much to blame. So considering his past, and compared to the life of Adam Yauch as an entertainer and humanitarian, it's a fucking shame a similar tribute wasn't received.

[benchillin]

dude, kurt cobain.

[llasaApso]

I have a feeling all the major magazines will do an MCA feature/edition in the next month. They need time to get a good article written and gather together all the facts i'm guessing?
Not just Rolling Stone, but I'm sure Vanity Fair will be on it too? What other mags are there? Details? Can't think of any others...hmmm Mojo, Word, Q....?

[benchillin]

Has anybody received a response?

thats what i was just wondering;???

If others disrespect me or give me flack
I'll stop and think before I react
Knowing that they're going through insecure stages
I'll take the opportunity to exercise patience

[MCAadROCKMiKEd7]

Oh boy, RS..
Jackies comin.

[JoLovesMCA]

All I can say is that I hope they had intended to do this all along and it wasn't our angry messages that prompted it!

[M|X|Y]

of course they were going to

[sab0tage]

The interview with Ad-Rock took place on May 14th so I would say it was always planned. Like what's been said before, best to put together a proper tribute rather than publish a half assed one due to deadline constraints

[JoLovesMCA]

Ok guys! (y)

[mad scientist]

My master plan worked.

[yeahwho]

My master plan worked.
I feel really good about rolling stone today and I wrote them a proper apology for my previous rant.

Crazy Feelings. Thanks mad scientist

[Billy Corbitt]

I am glad they gave him the cover.

[Documad]

Okay, so I'm taking back part of my rant. The magazine still sucks but I'm really glad he made the cover. If they had mentioned that they were working on a bigger article in the news story a couple weeks ago it would have saved me and a bunch of other people some teeth grinding. :p

Is it on the newsstand yet? I think Metallica is on the cover of some summer tour thing RS put out? Maybe that was a whole other magazine?

[Billy Corbitt]

True, but I don't think you can buy a copy yet...

[PortlandBGirl]

Hits newstands May 25. I will be at Walgreen's when they open!

@Johnny Ryall, nice post, I think that fits with WWYD (What Would Yauch Do?)

Yeah, we need to leave some copies for other fans. I will at least buy two though!

I was just at the media store picking up some fresh copies of my favourite beastieboys cd's and wouldn't you fncking know, that i forgot to get a copy of the Rolling Stone Magazine.


8no wonder the cashier was looking at me kinda funny. :(

[brooklyndust]

Picked up my copy at lunch today. Nice tribute with some nice pictures. Try getting a copy if you get a chance.

i am worried it was sold out, otherwise the clerk would of surely metioned it when i asked her if beastie boys was in their rap section ...



*/i had always found them beatles.

[PortlandBGirl]

I love love love the cover picture. I thought it was a good article, I am glad they took the time to do a fitting tribute.

[CoolAsACucumber]

I bought my copy last night. Great article....learned some things I never knew.

The vision of MCA on a horse in Tennessee while wearing a cowboy hat and western boots makes me smile....:)

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

has anyone in CA found this yet?

[M|X|Y]

i got it.. 6 1/2 page article.. nice cover

[M.C. Guevera]

Can anyone scan the pages?

[Frenchbgirl]

just finished reading it, I thought it was a really good article.

[jennyb]

"In the most beautiful way possible, he had us all fooled," says Mike D. "He really never considered dying from cancer an option, he really didn't. Because of that, we didn't consider that to be an option."

I loved reading that ^ because that's precisely how I've felt... Yauch dying of cancer is not an option and I still cannot accept it. My chest feels heavy after reading that article, like I still can't believe I just read a re-cap on Yauch's life in Rolling Stone, WTF. I swear I'm subconsciously still waiting for a HSC2 tour announcement. :(

Riding horses on Sheryl Crow's ranch in Tennessee?! Thinking about framing this entire issue in a shadow box.

[frank1271]

am i the only 1 who teared up while in the check out lane with my 2 copies looking at him knowing that we wont get to see his smile anymore,funny antics and him just being 1 of the coolest guys to ever walk this planet? I hope not. Miss you MCA

[JoLovesMCA]

Can anyone scan the pages?

I will be scanning it soon! :)

[dirtydan11]

I will be scanning it soon! :)

just buy it! I'm still waiting for the new issue. last months is still on stands everywhere around here. it says something on the top of the cover because it was last minute before it came out. there's a bit on page 15 and that's it. I wonder if what Perry Ferrel said is true. I'm still in shock. It's really hard for me to accept this is happening

[Swooziemoonshoe]

Please could someone do me a favour and let me know the issue number? I'm going to order a copy online but want to make sure I get the right one! Is the MCA issue N1156?
Thanks v much guys.

I got my copy Friday & started reading it but just couldn't finish it. Still too sad. Didn't want to get it wet from my crying.

Got it. Read it. Sad.

[JoLovesMCA]

Oh yeah I need to add. I put the images available only to registered members on the gallery. RS is making folks take them down so I gotta be careful. You can also email me yauchiejo@beastieboysgallery.com and I can send to you if you don't have the magazine yet. ;)

Going to take a long walk with my dog now.

[FlechaRojo]

Still waiting in Oregon. I'll start lurking around again at some of the stores later today. I'll have to toss it under some chocolate and tissues though as I don't want people to see a grown-a$$ woman blubbering in the store.

[birdfloatindown]

Got it, read the article. I was a little disappointed it wasn't longer, but they did put him on the cover and it was a good read. I have a new respect for Sheryl Crow. That was really cool of her to offer up her house to Yauch. There's something so moving about that: this legendary New York rapper, dying of cancer, who moves to Tennessee to ride horses. It's so surprising, in a way, but it's also so typically Yauch. Just ultra cool, riding off into the sunset.

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

Finally found it here in SF. It was a nice read and the photos are great. The live shot made me sad cause there is just so much energy in that shot. I loved it and I'm really going to miss that so much.

[beasties#1fan]

i'm framing mine, well i bought 2 copies, one to frame, one to read and weep...but it was a really beautiful article/tribute, i had to stop reading like 4 times because my eyes were so blurry:(

That is beautiful. Having horses so intertwined with my soul, I understand their healing powers all too well. Sheryl went through her own cancer battle and Adam was also friends with Lance Armstrong. Adam was supported very well, especially by those who have gone into the trenches of cancer.

We still don't have the R/S here in Southern Oregon (still Dinklage). Patiently waiting.

[Swooziemoonshoe]

I actually went through eBay in the end. Couldn't find another online supplier with the yauch edition.

I just noticed their tribute image link to six of the g-artists images. I hadn't seen the SF one until today.

The link is part of the flash images on the RS front page.

[Brass Monk]

Just read it, solid piece but don't fret if you miss it. Nothing new that most Beastie heads didn't know already. The interviews of Mike D and Adrock on the rolling stone website are far more revealing and interesting.

I agree.

I'm glad they paid him the respect of putting him on the cover. I suppose that no article was going to satisfy me, but I wish they had made more an effort to explain why he and the band mattered musically and how he was a talented musician instead of spending so much time re-explaining that he had a personality change after the FFYR video.

Yeah, definitely agree. They definitely couldn't do it in 4 pages or whatever it was.

I did like how they talked about MCA's reverence for Spoonie Gee though, I was expecting Rolling Stone to overlook that.

[Billy Corbitt]

I am with you two dudes,,,,


today i found this:

in my collection.

[Brass Monk]

I'm freakin' confused as to who did the Paul Revere beat.....

[Jiberish]

I'm freakin' confused as to who did the Paul Revere beat.....

My guess is that Adrock made the beat on the 808. [I'm guessing this because my hazy memory tells me I read that in Ronin Ro's book. "The Reign Ruin & redemption of Run-D.M.C. & Jam Master Jay"] and that MCA said "let's flip that beat around and see what it sounds like".

In the same book Run claims it was his idea and Adrock says he's nuts.

[Billy Corbitt]

this is the beat they used.

Yeah, I meant who ran it backwards and created the final beat on the record.

I read a quote where DMC also says that Run did it

[Brass Monk]

And I still don't get why Rush thought running it backwards was a mistake....

[DrunkenMantis]

I can't bring myself to read it. Just the finality of it is seriously depressing.

[Jiberish]

Whoa. I never realized that before. Cool. Well, Rick Rubin produced this song and if memory serves the Beastie Boys are part of the "yeah" crowd.

[FlechaRojo]

Ok, heading out to go find it. Should be here now, RIGHT?!

[Kid Presentable]

Whoa. I never realized that before. Cool. Well, Rick Rubin produced this song and if memory serves the Beastie Boys are part of the "yeah" crowd.

That's not the beat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvJwTBAMBBA

[Jiberish]

That's not the beat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvJwTBAMBBA

Yeah, I can't tell with out flipping them both around.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah, I can't tell with out flipping them both around.

Seriously?

[Jiberish]

Seriously?

well after listening to them both, it sounds like it could easily have been a tape loop of the T La Rock beat as a starting point to make the one you linked up. That horn sample in It's Yours sure sounds familiar. Or they could have replayed that beat from scratch on the 808. But either way it sounds like the T La Rock beat to me now.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah it's the same horn sample.

[FlechaRojo]

So after a long trek over the mountains, through the woods and a forded river or two, I finally found a copy of the R/S. The land of green and yellow ducks had disappointed me immensely up until I landed wearily upon the formidable B & N.

I started reading the article once I got home, but decided to put it away until I could focus on it completely. I pulled it out again when I was in bed. Overall I thought it was a nicely written article. I can see why it took a little time to get it out after Yauch had passed. I would have liked to have seen a picture of Yauch horseback riding, but that's ok. I actually had a dream I *saw* a picture. When I woke up, it was one of those moments where I thought it was real. So, I guess my request has been fulfilled. :)

Anyway, they picked a very nice, handsome picture for the cover. They could have gone a few different ways, but they chose well. The date printed on the front is also my birthday which is cool, I guess.

[JoLovesMCA]

I loved the photo they used too, but the way he looked before he got sick was really who he had become as a person. He had a lot of really nice photoshoots in those last years. But oh well.

I had no issues reading the article. It's video/audio that I can't do, but print articles I have been fine with. Even though this one was hard. I sorta speed read it because the focus was mainly on his battle. But at the same time the way he was described by Ms. Crow was really beautiful. I mean I trust her when she says he was radiant and he was peaceful. Feels good to know that.

[FlechaRojo]

I met Ms. Crow a few years ago at a cycling event (when she was still with Armstrong). She was very lovely lady and generous with her time. I would have liked to have talked horses with her, but there was too much going on. It deeply touches my soul that Yauch and his family spent time with her on her ranch.

[JoLovesMCA]

I've heard nothing but good things about Sheryl. My friend who is a flight attendant had her on her plane and she was brave enough to ask for an autograph. She said she was nice, talkative and even offered her gum and then gave her the pack of gum before she got off the flight.

I am not surprised he spent that time with her. I knew they were really good friends. :o

I also think during recording "It's yours" they saw Jazzy Jay from Bambaata drinking Brass Monkey which helped spawn the eventual song.

I forget where I heard that......

FYI, MCA tribute in The Source magazine, Beasties on the cover, just picked it up at DFW airport.

I started reading it and could not stop till I was done. Seems the whole acid talk would of been better served somewhere else. I guess it is what it is, but when I put the magazine in my backpack I was thinking fuck rolling stone for reporting this.

Yeah I felt that was a bit off, it's not like he talked the acid thing publicly. But then again, maybe they had the sense internally to call a spade a spade. Mike D even talked about it in his little interview. Crazy.

FYI, MCA tribute in The Source magazine, Beasties on the cover, just picked it up at DFW airport.

Please let us know what you think of it!
